After dismissing Tan Guolun on the spot, Xia Tian did not rush to find a leader for Tianxia Film. After learning the lesson, he wanted to go through a careful investigation before deciding.
He opened the scripts first and started reading them carefully.
I saw that the script sent by Wang Jing was "Mr. Catching Evil". Its name looks like a ghost movie, but in fact it is a romantic comedy film dressed in a horror cloak.
Xia Tian remembers that she had watched this movie in her previous life, starring Zhong Zhentao, Zheng Yuling, Qiu Shuzhen and others. The movie is a bit mediocre, not as exciting as similar movies such as "Mr. Zombies", "Ghost Crew", and "Ghost Catching Family", but it is also a qualified Hong Kong film. At least when Xia Tian first watched it, she felt very happy.
"Well, this movie can be filmed." He nodded after reading the script.
The script sent by Liu Zhenwei is "The School of Ghosts", which is the sequel to "The School of Ghosts". "The School of Ghosts" was directed by Xia Shuliang last year, starring Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jiawei, Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, and Yang Lijing. After its release, it won a box office of 21 million yuan. Compared with an investment of less than 6 million Hong Kong dollars, this movie is of course very profitable.
Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei also learned a lot through this film, and also made a little name. They immediately decided to invest in the sequel, hoping to make another hit.
The sequel tells the story of the Hong Kong police deciding to set up a ghost hunting force in view of the rampant zombies. Meng Chao, Kim McGee, Director, Broom Star, Romeo... A bunch of strangers in the police industry were selected one after another, and then some ridiculous stories happened.
The routine of this sequel is somewhat similar to the well-known American comedy films "Police School" and "Ghostbusters", but it has been localized and has quite Hong Kong-style characteristics.
This movie has also been watched in the previous life of summer, and it is still a very happy horror comedy. I guess even if the box office is not high, at least there is no problem in making a profit.
Moreover, this movie is a group drama and requires many actors, which is suitable for using this drama to promote people. Therefore, Xia Tian happily approved the shooting of this movie.
...
The script sent by Yuan Kui was called "Senior Sister Tuo Gun". At first glance, this name scared Xia Tian. He thought it was the very famous TVB police and gangster drama in his previous life. When he opened the script and looked carefully, he found that it was the plot of "The King of the Flower" in his previous life.
The story of this script is that in view of Bawanghua's outstanding performance, the police decided to set up a female special police force, called "Senior Sister Tuo Gun", and selected the elite of the police force, and Bawanghua Hu Huizhong was responsible for the training.
During the training of senior sister Tuoqin, they had many funny stories with the Flying Tigers who were training on the same venue. In the end, they united and wiped out the international jewelry thieves and achieved a double harvest of love and career.
In his previous life, Hu Huizhong became a well-known female fighter star in Hong Kong with her outstanding performance in the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Later, "The Royal Sister" starring Yang Ziqiong made a big box office hit and set off a wave of female action movies in Hong Kong.
Seeing this, Cheng Long used the gimmick of Bawanghua to invest in many female action movies. On the one hand, he wanted to make money with the east wind, and on the other hand, he also wanted to cultivate talents.
Like Boba Ye Zimei, the sex star Chen Yalun, the comedy queen Wu Junru, the breakdancing king Du Dewei, etc., they all became popular through this movie.
However, in the "Overwinkle Flower" series of movies, actors such as Ng Junru, Chen Yalun, Ye Zimei, and Du Dewei are outstanding. Hu Huizhong's role is not very important, and it is not very outstanding. Cheng Long uses her entirely to borrow her fame to help his people carry the sedan chair, which is not beneficial to her.
Therefore, when Xia Tian was filming "The King of Kings", he did not use the plot of "The Kings Flower" in his previous life, but instead copied the plot of "The Kings Sister" starring Yang Ziqiong.
In "The Royal Sister", Hu Huizhong is the well-deserved protagonist, with the most important role and the most outstanding, which has made her popularity soar and become the chief female fighter star in Hong Kong.
The script that Yuan Kui now gives is exactly the script of "The King of Kings" in his previous life, but Xia Tian still agreed happily. Because Hu Huizhong's popularity has been quite solid, she is the title of Hong Kong's chief female star. Therefore, even if it is consumed, it doesn't matter if it helps to bring newcomers.
Just like Robert Downey Jr., who became popular with "Iron Man", he is often arranged by Marvel to make guest appearances in superhero movies, which not only increases his exposure, boosts the box office of the movie, but also helps make newcomers famous, killing multiple hits in one fell swoop.

The script sent by Chen Jiashang is "Three People World", which is a literary and romance film. It tells the story of Alex, a senior executive of an advertising company, who was depressed after breaking up with his girlfriend Becky. Later, he found Mao Xiaomin, a talented female student in the choir, and planned to devote all his efforts to cultivate her.
However, the girl's mother, Zhu Li'e, suspected that he had an intention toward her daughter, so she made a big misunderstanding. It was not until the misunderstanding was resolved that the two became friends from enemies and developed feelings for each other. Just as the two were about to have a secret relationship, their girlfriend Bee Qi suddenly returned and asked to get back together...
Xia Tian also watched this movie in his previous life, starring Lin Zixiang, Zheng Yuling, Guan Zhilin and Zhou Huimin. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Huimin had just debuted when she made this movie. Although she was pretty at that time, she had dark skin and rustic temperament. She was completely an ugly duckling, far less pure and beautiful than later and amazing.
However, the movie was filmed very well, based on real life, focusing on the plot, fresh and refined, real and friendly, which left a deep impression on him. Moreover, the box office of this movie was very good, because it later released the sequel "The New World of Three".
This well-known and popular movie, Xia Tian naturally had no reason to refuse, and it also passed its review smoothly.
Mai Xiong sent the script of "The Young Master is Passionate". This is a romantic comedy about the wealthy businessman Chen Baiwan being teased by the beautiful Lishi and decides to take revenge. He found Wang Qianjin, who was born in the provincial Hong Kong flag soldier, and hired Anita to train him to become a famous young man.
Wang Qianjin suffered a lot before he successfully trained. He also developed a good impression of Anita while studying with Anita. Wang Qianjin then helped Chen Baiwan ridicule Lishi, avenge a revenge, and won the favor of the ship king's daughter Fiona, and planned to marry him as his wife. But at the last moment, Wang Qianjin gave up the opportunity to reach the sky and chose Anita, whom he loved the most.
Coincidentally, I watched this movie in the summer before and knew it was based on the famous work "The Flower Selling Girl" by the well-known drama master Bernard Shaw, but McGonagall and others cleverly adapted it in Hong Kong. The first half of the movie also spoofed his own classic work "The Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier".
Xia Tian also knew that the box office of this movie was very good. It was because of the two first-line movie stars Zhou Runfa and Mei Yanfang, and it was also because the story itself was very good. So he was also preparing to invest in this movie.
I also read several other scripts in the summer, but I didn’t feel that it was very good, so I didn’t approve it again.
In addition, he also found that directors such as Wu Yusen, Zhang Wan-cheon, and Du Qifeng had not submitted projects. It seems that they are still in their low point.
Xia Tian didn't plan to urge them to do this. Good works take time to prepare, and it's worth waiting for a good movie for a few years.
